TwinCamTuner's 87' GT "Taz" UPDATE AND PIX

I was reading and got the bug to start my project thread so here goes,

My car is a 1987 Toyota Celica GT with the non Ect automatic (unfortunately), and currently is mostly stock aside from an aftermarket sound system. I am sporting all stock interior and mechanicals.

The car is clean both inside and out aside from a dent in the right rear quarter, a few dings and a little rot on the front left fender (the only rust thank god) I have owned the car for going on 6 months now and she is as reliable as the sun rise starts first try every time. i have some lofty plans for her as I want to do alot both mechanically and cosmetic to the car begining with body and paint.

This is a picture as she stands today

inside:


engine bay:


My plans are as stands:
Full 3SGE Second Gen (maybe with a full webber kit) swap
s54 5 speed swap
finish sound system (amp and sub)COMPLETED
new front seats (deciding brand)
reapolstered rear seat
new rims (goin with 15's soon)
kaminari body kit
NEW PAINT !!!

Obviously as time goes by they will get more detailed.


My second project comes with my next pay check as the stereo was first
NEW RADIATOR HAHA ! ! As my stock unit is on its last legs and being held together by jb weld and I hate plastic radiators the replacement will be a radiator KoyoRad Aluminum unit with plastic tanks (it' also cheaper). More updates and pics to come.

 

no such thig anything goes as long as it has lights and a
horn even sevear body rot is ok our saftey check is a frigin
joke

 

for hawaii it's excelent and auto does it for now but will be changed with the powerplant
for now the first thing was a new koyo radiator that wnet in monday after noon sice the 20+
year old stocker was goin south fast car runs way nicer now next new is new intake kit and then
time to save for a new motor, trans, and parts for it and i've decided no beams due to cost
and time involved (it is my daily driver too) so full on na 2nd gen swap


any how pics of the new stuff to come

 

Damn long time no post to much work and other junk.
Any way the new radiator is in as well as a new rad
cap and muffler (the old one died and i ran open pipe
for a while). The CherryBomb Turbo was my choice
works and sounds excelent and the price was right at
$30. Also any one got a good way to re atattch the front
air damn mine is usable but the bolts are trashed.

 

sprey thanx a million and i'm gunna try it out when i get off work on tuesday the problem was the clips riped outof the plastic on a curb and riped it off.
alman oddly enough my fe has a little kick but building a killer ge n/a is the goal
and i may be buying a donor soon also out of curiosity what wheels will fit a 4th
gen on 4 lugs 13 are hard to come by in my area

 

thank you and no but i look forward to it there is a gts or 2
running around hilo and they'r pretty quick

 

damn i really need to get a camera anyway sub and amp are
installed pix to come

 

may be coming into a bit of money and tired of the steelies time
for wheels hows every one think these look. . .



also gunna get new struts and springs so YAY if it happens

 

also they are 11 lbs a piece also they are packaged with Toyo
Proxes 4 205/50R15 19.8 tires
